Player News
Josh Johnson with strong rehab outing
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(9:24 pm ET) Blue Jays starter Josh Johnson moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo Saturday afternoon.

Johnson threw four scoreless innings in his first Triple-A start. He gave up just one hit and one walk while striking out three. Johnson is expected to make at least two more starts before rejoining the rotation.

"I'm pretty happy. I wish my fastball command was better but the positive part is my slider was there to back me up and my curveball," he said. "I had a good sinker today, too. I was using both sides of the plate with everything, so it's a build on."

Carlos Ruiz feeling good about rehab
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(9:10 pm ET) Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz, who is on the disabled list with a hamstring strain, is happy with his progress in rehab, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

"I feel good and have been feeling better each day," Ruiz said Saturday. "But I also want to be careful and not do too much."

Ruiz took some swings in the batting cage Friday under the supervision of trainer Scott Sheridan. He is expected to return in mid-June.


Chris Getz gets tossed
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(9:07 pm ET) Royals infielder Chris Getz was ejected in the sixth inning Saturday against the Angels by first base umpire Marty Foster. Getz was tossed after arguing with the umpire over his call on a double play in the previous inning. It was his second career ejection.

Getz was hitless in three at-bats, lowering his batting average to .208. 


Asdrubal Cabrera heating up
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(9:02 pm ET) Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera extended his hitting streak to five games Saturday with three hits in a 7-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Cabrera went 3 for 5 with an RBI double in the third inning. He scored a run and had two steals. He is hitting .263 but is batting .366 over the last 10 games, with five multi-hit efforts.   


Fernando Rodney crumbles again in the ninth
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(8:59 pm ET) Rays closer Fernando Rodney continued to struggle as he blew his league-leading fifth save Saturday against the Yankees.

Rodney, who entered the game in the ninth with a two-run lead, surrendered a two-out, run-scoring double to Brennan Boesch and a run-scoring single to Brett Gardner to tie the game. He was charged with two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one in his inning.

Rodney has allowed seven runs over his last 4 2/3 innings. He has converted two of his last five save opportunities over that span.

Jeurys Familia throws perfect inning in first rehab appearance
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(8:58 pm ET) Mets pitcher Jeurys Familia threw a perfect eighth inning for Class A St. Lucie in his first rehab appearance, striking out one. He hadn't pitched since May 9 due to biceps tendinitis.

Familia has a 3.48 ERA and seven strikeouts in 10 1/3 innings with the Mets this season.


Emilio Bonifacio hits rare homer
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:57 pm ET) Light-hitting Blue Jays infielder Emilio Bonifacio provided a rare glimpse of pop Saturday against the Red Sox, hitting his first home run of the season in a 6-5 loss.

Bonifacio went 1 for 4 and it was his first homer since July 23. He is batting .212, although he has 11 extra-base hits in 118 at-bats. 


Danny Valencia providing pop
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:55 pm ET) Orioles infielder Danny Valencia continued to hit well Saturday, homering for the second game in a row against the Blue Jays.

Valencia had a two-run shot off starter R.A. Dickey in the third inning of a 6-5 loss. He finished 1 for 3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored.

Valencia is hitting .313 with at least a hit in his first four games. He has driven in four runs and scored three, with four extra-base hits. 


Jerry Hairston could return Sunday
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(8:52 pm ET) Dodgers infielder Jerry Hairston could return to the lineup Sunday if everything goes well with Saturday's rehab game, MLB.com reports.

"We'll get Jerry back fairly soon here," manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com Saturday afternoon. "He'll play another day and then we'll make a decision. He says he's ready and medical is basically saying one more day."

Hairston is recovering from a groin strain and tendinitis in his left knee.


Matt Moore stays solid in no-decision
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(8:52 pm ET) Rays starter Matt Moore turned in another solid performance but had to settle for a no-decision Saturday against the Yankees.

Moore allowed just a run-scoring single to Travis Hafner in the first inning. The left-hander permitted five hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings of the 4-3 extra-inning loss.

Moore has allowed two runs over his last two starts (13 innings) and is scheduled to next start Thursday at Miami.
